What is your fuel level when you hear it?

I thought it was something mechanical as well when I first heard it, then I realized that it was most noticeable after filling my tank and diminished until about 3/4 of a tank and after that it was inaudible.

I've just recently noticed the sound so haven't yet seen a pattern. Listened for it yesterday when I pulled in the garage and didn't hear a thing with tank nearly full. I've heard tank slosh in this car and it is a very different sound, not as regular in beat and dies down much quicker. This is definitely a mechanical sound. That's why it caught my attention. I'll keep listening for it.
